For sure, but he won't be winning it anytime right now.

Seriously JBL went from doing literally nothing to being champ in 6 weeks. Harper can easily do it. JBL was also on TV for years built up as a tough guy tho. The gimmick changed but the attitude was still there.

The current RAW champion is a pudgy neckbeard, I could buy one of the frikkin Ascension as champ after a solid month of good storyline buildup.

I want Harper to be the 'Big Dude' gatekeeper. He can be the test for the guy getting a world title run. He's perfect in that role.
I think Braun is gonna be looked at like other 'hot' properties the E has produced recently, over-hyped. He's fine in the mid-card but have no desire to see him in the world title picture.

Not *quite* yet, but it's closer than I would have imagined 6 months ago

I mean I can buy both guys as World champs based on looks and size alone. But the question is when. As others have said I don't see Luke Harper being built up nearly quick enough to convince us that he's ready for the main event of Wrestlemania. If his push graudually continues into the summer then yeah I can definitely see him getting the strap at Summerslam. I can see Strowman getting the title later in the year as well given his push and hidden powers. Maybe also around Summerslam.

I'd rather Strowman just continue to be the monster that destroys everything in his path. The moment he gets a belt on him, he has to deal with conforming to whatever authority is in place, be it on Raw or Smackdown. The guy's whole persona is being the man who shows up when he wants, beats up whoever he wants, and is out to destroy whatever is in his way, not chasing some belt saying he's that guy.
Harper needs a lot more time to rebuild his credibility as a threat before getting the belt as well. I'm not saying he couldn't be one, but the fact he's still not getting quite the pops the other guys are getting when he shows up (only when he's doing actual work in the ring) tells me the audience needs to be better geared to back him to be a credible presence in a match against the two other "big names" in the picture at the moment.

I could see Luke Harper winning the MITB especially if Bray's still got the title during the Summer time & we get Wyatt vs Harper for the title at Summerslam

Harper beat Apollo Crews on Main Event last November. That was his last televised singles win.
His last win period was a 6 man tag which the Wyatts won at Tribute to the Troops over Dolph Ziggler and American Alpha.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope he gets added to the match because Orton/Wyatt 1 on 1 sounds terrible. Kayfabe wise though, he’d have to be the worst Wrestlemania headliner ever. Even Miz was on a winning streak the year he main evented.

Harper > Wyatt and Orton
He has been booked as the 3rd wheel in the Orton-Wyatt feud yet neither one of those guy's would have been able to get the crowd behind them if they were in a f2 of a battle royale with the WM main event on the line against AJ. Dude is a beast athletically and is much better at engaging the crowd then the better booked pudgy neckbeard. WWE are really dropping the ball on this dude.

No on Harper.I'm a big fan of his but wwe has treated him as a giant jobber his entire run.He needs way more than a ppv match with Orton to make him credible.

I want 'Corporate Champ' Luke Harper.
He dresses exactly the same except he comes out in an Armani blazer over his dirty t-shirt
